Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Volunteering Day
Railway Maintenance on a Heritage Railway
The activity will include physical works to maintain the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway and could include track maintenance or lineside works.
Work are now confirmed and it will be a mixture of different track maintenance activities at Keighley Station, as well as some boundary maintenance. Some of the work is a follow on from the recent track renewals, others include fish plate greasing and also some S&C timber renewals.
Places are limited, we will operate a waiting list.
Registrations close on Monday the 11th May 2026.
Book your place now, or if you have a question, or want to find out more email Clare at Clare.Brint@networkrail.co.uk
Pictured above are some photos of a volunteer day in November 2024, where our volunteers did some crest drainage clearance and constructed a new down slope drain.
